Cairns tree care since 2010
Trees add shade, privacy and value to a property, but only when they’re looked after properly.
Advanced Vegetation Management was established in 2010 to bring qualified, professional arboriculture to Cairns and Far North Queensland. Today we look after homes, businesses, strata properties, schools, parks and development sites from Ellis Beach to Gordonvale.
Our founder, Mike Dowling, has more than 20 years in the industry. He holds a Diploma of Horticulture (Arboriculture) RTF50203, a Diploma of Forest and Forest Products and a Certificate of Horticultural Management, and is a member of the Queensland Arboricultural Association.
We pride ourselves on finishing jobs on time and on budget. With our own fleet of specialised equipment, we can take on projects of any size safely.
